                 Sets a configuration parameter for a specific slice
                 (identified by a positive integer) or for all slices by
                 using the keyword <code class="literal">all</code>.
             </p>
      <p>
                 The syntax of this parameter in the <a href="../../programmer_reference/env_db_config.html#env_db_config.DB_CONFIG" class="olink">DB_CONFIG</a> file is a
                 single line with the string <code class="literal">slice</code>, one
                 or more whitespace characters, the slice number or
                 <code class="literal">all</code>, one or more whitespace characters,
                 and the parameter you want to set for the slice. Note that
                 slice numbers start at 0. For example:
             </p>
      <pre class="programlisting">set_slice_count 4
slice 0 home_dir /export/dbenv/slices/slice0
slice 1 home_dir /export/dbenv/slices/slice1
slice 2 home_dir /export/dbenv/slices/slice2
slice 3 home_dir /export/dbenv/slices/slice3
slice all set_cachesize 2 524288000 1 </pre>
      <p>
                 If slice support has not been compiled into the database,
                 then this parameter is ignored.
